Finally, decided to withdraw. It's tough....A LOT tougher than I thought it would be, but I feel it's the right choice for me. This is still the best thread on here with a great group of people. I hope you guys/gals fall in love during the admitted student days. I was honored to even be admitted and never expected it. Oh yeah.....

Just don't be that guy who walks up to random people and asks them if they're on TLS in front of lots of people. It makes it weird.

yeah totally. just do the secret call-and-response dance and see if they get it right.

+1

We can start a secret fb group and figure out the moves. We just need to be sneaky.

RIGOR

You're not even going to check out the ASW? Best of luck to ya man.

I have enough people who are there right now from undergrad that are only a year or two ahead of me that I feel I can make a pretty good judgment. Besides my undergrad isn't that far from the city. I know I would love the city, I've been there. I know I'd like the people and the professors. All that stuff is why I haven't withdrawn. But there's nothing an ASW could do to convince me that Chi will match NYU/CLS in public interest resources or NYU's LRAP. And that's just what it comes down to. Why go the ASW and end up liking you all more and do the opposite of what my rationale is telling me? If I was 3 years younger and Chi's PI had caught up then I would be depositing there.
